BRG1
Use
BRG1 is a protein involved in chromatin remodeling, which plays a crucial role in regulating the binding of transcription factors to DNA. Alterations in protein expression are associated with various neoplasms. This test helps in identifying loss of protein expression or overexpression of BRG1 that may indicate the presence of certain neoplasms.
